Our Zaugg pipe cutter was down Tuesday and Wednesday. But the pipe stayed in great shape and was very fun to ride anyways! The Zaugg is now fixed and the pipe was cut to perfection last night. With the mild sunny weather we have had, there's no better conditions to train for Sunday's USASA pipe competition in the Snowmass Pipe. Registration is at AVSC Clubhouse in the Mall from 8-9am. Practice is from 9-10am. Runs start at 10am. Awards will be given at 3pm at D&E.

A couple of days ago we have opened the jib features on Bonzai, just as you get through the gate. You can now ride all the way down the park. Since, we have focused our energy on pushing at the pipe. The piles of snow are so big we have named them Cabin Peak! Expect our pipe to be ready maybe next week. We'll keep you posted.
